Trump staking claim of 'Mission Accomplished' in Syria

Despite a U.S. -Russian agreement to completely eliminate Syria'schemical weapons program after hundreds of people were gassed with sarin in Ghouta on August 21, 2013, the OPCW had been unable to verify that all manufacturing, storage and research facilities were destroyed.

The Russian military also claimed Syria shot down the cruise missiles that were launched at a Syrian air base. "And so he made a point, and hopefully Assad gets it".

Assad was determined "to butcher his way" to an overwhelming victory and only the Russians could pressure him to come to the negotiating table in Geneva, Johnson said.

There has also been debate over how the missiles fared across the sky. "We are confident that all of our missiles reached their targets".

He said: "So far, thank heavens, the Assad regime has not been so foolish to launch another chemical weapons attack", adding that Britain and its allies "would study what the options were" in the event of another attack.
